brands easter friday/CSS easter sunday
 

i will be do doing brands indy on good friday (25th march)

and myself and rob (electric sheep) will be doing the CSS at rockingham on easter sunday both on level 4 i think.

would be good to see anyone else who wants to join in on either of these. i think we will stay over in rockingham on the saturday night.

i'll be on my desmodue bike so i'll be good practice for anyone wanting to hone their overtaking skills:(

Michael W and I are are off to almeria with the css to try to learn to ride these monster things. I may try to come to brands on the 25th if the price is low enough, who is running it.

dave

with a serious overdraft, who said cheap racing!!!

focused events are running brands on the 25th.

yeah really wanted to do the almeria trip but couldn't get the time off work. dont have the money either really but would have done it anyway. very jealous.

could struggle on the back straight there a bit on the monster. will probably have people going past you doing 50 mph more or so!

Hey Dickie - depending on which days off at work are the problem, you could fly to Malaga and hire a car. 3hrs or so to Almeria according to the AA so not exactly close but later flights available.

If you don't need too much sleep and could leave early on the Friday, you could get the Easyjet flight from Stansted at 18.00 (gets in 21.55, so not to bed 'til 1ish) returning home on Sunday at 21.55 (arrival 23.50).

Or if you really can't leave work until later, Luton - Malaga at 19.25, arrival 23.10 and back Sunday 23.55, arriving 01.40 (or back to Stansted if you can get the train on the way out and Mrs DD will pick you up).

Go on, if you can, it'll be fun :D

yeah, looked at those options but wont get away from work till 6. and did the drive last year from malaga. not much fun even when i wasnt driving.

its just too tight on the time:(

brands and rockingham

or almeria for 2 days?

tough call :lol::lol::lol:

having said that when i went, it pi**** down for 3 days:o

good track though.

I would like to make a better suggestion........

Come to Cadwell Park on Thurs 24th, yes the Thursday before Easter.

You will get training of a standard equal to ESS, especially since most of our instructors teach with them

We also go further, we teach you tips on mental approach, how to look after yourself to get the most out of your day so that you learn more.

We teach in a classroom as well as on the track

You get lunch and refreshments all day, included in the price

Best of all, you will be supporting two of your members in a new venture, as such we will give a discount to DSC club members.

Phone me to reserve a place

Gary – Apex Trackdays UK

Have you got a website

I am also doing the CSS that weekend but i cant remember if its on the Saturday or the Sunday, only doing level 2 as i did 1 last year, had a fantastic time and as my first track experiance, if it is on the Saturday i would be more than happy to hook up after.

i think we're planning to get up there about 7 on the saturday evening but may get up earlier. let us know what day you are doing when you find out

Well, I'm the last student to book up the Almeria trip - it is now closed.

:D

Now, need some flights ....

And now my flights are booked. Is it just me, Dave and Mike?

Apparently some race team from Ukraine came in and booked a bunch of places :( The pace out there could be a bit hot for those of us on Desmo Due bikes, assuming I have one sorted out in time!

Otherwise I'll have to get embarrassed on the 996!

Love to come over and watch you Dickie but I will be driving the race bus up to Cadwell saturday PM-racing season starts Easter Sunday for WJB and me-whoopee.:D

John

They had a cancellation, so now you will have to put up with me as well

Wahey, welcome Rob.

Got your flights sorted out?

I have got a couple of flight option, I will book tomorrow.
Anyone who has not done the 2 day camp before it's a blast.
:D:D:D:D:D

Now that I have booked it's time for me to get down the gym so that I can get the most out of it.

:lol:

I've just gotten back from the gym! Yes I know, at this time of the evening ... sad ... Now how am I going to get to sleep ...

I've got my flights booked. It's going to be a busy time.
Brands Friday, Rockingham Sunday then Almeria the next weekend.

So your doing CSS level 4 on Easter Sunday, then doing the 2 day camp, both level 4 the next weekend? Is that right?

Why are you doing it like that?

I booked Rockingham when I thought that I could not afford Almeria.

Then I realised I had a little more money than I thought so I called up and got the cancellation for Almeria.

Rockingham should be a good warm up. The 2 day camps are intense. You are in for a treat.

Are you doing level 3 and 4 ?

Yep - looking forward to it.

You guys are champing at the bit ;-)

How sad is this?

I can't do Almeria because of a previously booked holiday in Marbella that week. I even thought about driving across but I don't think that it would go down well with Mary and the two couples who are coming with us!

Mind you, I will be at the Rock for Easter weekend and will just have to make do with riding in Dubai next week.

Life...sometimes don't you just love it.

See you at the Rock

Now what am I going to do? You've been my only CSS instructor so far!

Dickie,
clarified the bike transport with andy at the css should be able to do brands on easter friday to run in the monster, I will ring mw to see if hes up for it
